This is the weirdest problem reported

XMMB Game column can only show the games detected (those you see in other display modes).

Make sure you don't have "group/genre mode" enabled - [SQUARE] changes 15 genre lists, so make sure you see "Game" under the XMMB icon and not "Adventure" or "3D Support" or anything...

I mean the XMB in multiman of course. Running on 3.55 I can see the game list only after installation/update of multiman. After I press refresh I never get the list again. In other screens it appears without problem all the time. do you have any idea why this can happen or what can I try ? thanks a lot free

Hi, I am having just the opposite thing going on with me. I can get to the MM XMB List and that's it. L1 and R1 do not switch appearances, it does nothing... very strange...

Is there a chance that you switch to 3.55 KMEAW and try to same discs with multiMAN?

I'll delete all of your messages if you continue the path RSX!

This is my last reply to your posts. CHECK THE "XMMB SETTINGS" column and set your multiMAN properly. If you can't do that, you may have to find another site to post your questions and your discoveries and thoughts. This is not the place for your "i'm away from my ps3 but does it do this and that, but i can't do that because i think it is impossible and i never heard of such option and i'm lazy but curious and i love to troll" stuff.

Sure , I will switch to Kmeaw FW after MGS4 finish dumping with Cobra, so far is looking Ok, if it finishes I will check the EBOOT.BIN as you told me in a previous post, I'll transfer it to my PC for Hex examination.

If I can help doing any specific test / investigation feel free to ask me, its a pleasure to help in any way I can.

SeeYa!

Showtime Deank you can read the NTFS partition to read the video from the external harddisk without using the BD player?

If it were possible, you can intercede with the developer to implement the read-only ntfs partition.

A Thanks for everything.

Can someone describe step by step how to play an MKV movie from dvd-r with Showtime @multiman ? I have the latest versions of both .

Tried many way but i still get the old " libav -1 " error in Showtime . I understand the facility to play MKV from dvd-r was recently added

Dean, I finished making a successful MGS4 ISO in my internal PS3 HDD (using Cobra) and after verifying the contents everything seems to be unmodified, they even have the same 2008 dates, then I opened the EBOOT.BIN with Hex editor and everything looks ok too, it has the SCE ELF header and such.

Now there is something interesting, if I enter multiMAN while having any of the following 'original' discs inserted:

Tron: Legacy (DVD)
Tron : Legacy (BD)
Metal Gear Solid 3 (PS2 Disc)
Final Fantasy VII (PS1 Disc)

(all the discs are originals, without scratches at all)

I can see them at file manager and explore them, I cannot make ISO from them, or copy / open individual files.

Now if while I'm in multiMAN I eject any of those discs everything is refreshed normally, but then if I insert them again they are not detected, even when refreshing all content from multiMAN XMB, I tried inserting all the previous original discs while on multiMAN file manager.

Then I decided to give a try to Metal Gear Solid 4 (PS3 BD Disc) while I was there, and it got detected I was able to navigate the contents and even copy stuff, but not make an ISO tho'.

Is like multiMAN is not able to access PS1 / PS2 / DVD discs at all I even put a original Music CD and is not detected. The only ones that can be accessed are PS3 BD discs.

I will switch to KMEAW now and continue my testing there.

EDIT: I switched to KMEAW and Im using multiMAN now to make an ISO from Assassins Creed Brotherhood (BD Disc) to my external drive, so far is not presenting any problems and is copying around 3.96 MB/s.

EDIT2: When it reached 42% I got this from multiMAN:

Error occurred while accessing data! Sector read: 1649664 Total sectors: 3919328

Now I'm trying to create the same ISO but internally, speed is around 8.50 MB/s.

EDIT3: I guess there is something wrong with the disc (it must be something minimal LOL, I just verified the disc and is almost in perfect conditions xD), because I got this around 42% again:

Error occurred while accessing data! Sector read: 1648640 Total sectors: 3919328

Btw, multiMAN doesn't hang when reaching 42%, it just gives the error. I guess Cobra manager keeps trying to read more sectors.

Now I will continue testing PS1 / PS2 / DVD / Music discs

EDIT4: Ok, Metal Gear Solid 3 (PS2 disc) was detected in multiMAN File Manager and multiMAN XBM, Im doing an ISO now to my internal hdd, so far is looking good (speed is 6.25 MB/s atm, but it keeps going up gradually). I was able to access individual files on the disc to using the File Manager, I could view them with MM Hex editor.

EDIT5: Ok here are the Metal Gear Solid 3 (PS2) results:

ISO Image saved as: /dev_hdd0/PS2ISO/20110922-191822-PS2.iso Processed 4347 MB in 9:51 min (7.36 MB/s)

For some reason PS1 discs (Final Fantasy VII) are detected as Data Disc by multiMAN, and when I try to access their content the directory is empty in the File Manager, it is not listed in MM XMB too.

Sony XMB displays the disc as PlayStation 1 disc tho'. I will keep my investigation with DVD / CD now.

EDIT6: Tried to make an ISO of 'Tron: Legacy (DVD)' and 'Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (DVD)' but after reading a few sectors multiMAN stops and gives data access error. Both discs are new, and original. They were detected without problem by multiMAN File Manager as DVD Video discs. I think Music CD is irrelevant since not even Cobra support reading those, but as a side note, multiMAN didn't detect Music CD when I inserted one, I guess it is not even implemented xD LOL, you can ignore the Music CD part of my research.

EDIT7: Related to my previous testing of Final Fantasy 7 (PS1 Original Disc), I ran a Disc check with ImgBurn on my PC and the disc is (MODE2/FORM1/2352, LBA: 0 - 317786).

Btw, multiMAN is doing a nice job making a Metal Gear Solid 4 (PS3) ISO to my external drive, its around 20% now.

EDIT8: I was able to make Metal Gear Solid 4 external split ISO with multiMAN , Cobra manager wouldn't let me make it on external for some reason xD, LOL. Here are the details:

Processed 33963 MB in 143:04 min (3.96 MB/s)

SeeYa!

Dean, the XMMB settings is set to "XXMB List (looks just like the Sony XMB), I can change it in there to other settings 4x4, etc.. but switching them on the fly using L1 and R1 does not work for me. I will delete MM folder and do a full install of your most recent version. I will post back with my results. I am not trying to be a troll, not at all. I thought you would like to hear bug reports, etc... Sorry.
